In conversation with reporter an au-
thority at Fulton market said: 1.-The supe-
rior flavor of Welch or Highland mutton is
beyond all doubt due to the aromatic plants
which abound on the pasturage of those
hills, and on which the sheep feed. The
hills in Wales are thickly covered with
wild thyme, while those in the Highlands
are full of lady's mantle and other
aromatic herbs which are seldom, If ever,
found in other pastures. This is hint
of natures own giving, which the farmer
who goes in for sheep raising or dairying
cannot afford to despise in these times of
hard competition.
"The aromatic herbs may be no less
nutritious than clover or rye grass, but
they are just as needful to the formation
of perfect pasturage as the other varie-
ties of plants. For this reason they should
be grown in all pasturages. They are
easy of cultivation, and will grow in the
worst ground, but some are, of course,
better suited to certain kinds of soil than
others. Parsley, loveage, cumin, cor
lander, carraway, angelica and wild fennel
delight in loamy soils, wild thyme, rock
rose, hysop, sage, savory and horehound
in dry, poor soils, and peppermint in moist
soil.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

A few months ago, perhaps last fall,
there was perfect perfume craze 1t
swept through the fashionable and I'M
fashionable sets of New York society,
women especially, and reached some few
other cities The masculine element,
everywhere known as ''the dudes,' took
it up also. Not druggists only, but dry
goods houses, and every store where
women most do congregate, in New York
city, were called on hourly by crowds of
women, who went from house to house
'sampling" perfume, till it became neces-
sary to keep duplicate stock on hand and
an experienced set of clerks who could
discriminate between bona fide customers,
and those who took this method of re-
plenishing their mouchoir case and toilet
stand.
The craze took such proportions that
the result disguised the originators of it,
and it was suddenly dropped by the elite,
until now perfumers tell us there is far
less demand than usual for perfumery,
and good taste has asserted its sway, deli
cate, refined and natural odors being
mostly in demand. Cor. Cleveland Leader

Mrs. Mackay and the Sick Artist.

A young woman from California had
gone to Paris to take lessons in painting.
She had great capacity, boundless ambi-
ton and great hope. She was poor, but
her people gave her up to art, and looked
forward with pride and expectation when
she would return to honor and delight
them. But alas! and alas! death is in the
world.
Her doctor told her that there was but
one thing she could do to save her life
return to California. "Return to Cali
fornia? Why, 1 have not dollar left
All my people have already spent all they
had to help me to get on here"
The doctor said no more, but took his
hat and went away, promising to call the
next afternoon.
The poor California invalid met him at
the door and caught his hand in both of
hers, while tears of delight ran down her
face and fell on his hand.

Why, it is just like a fairy tale. Yes, it
is. You see, you had not been gone an
hour when in stepped a modest, sweet
little lady and said she was making up a
sketch book of California drawings and
wanted to buy all had. And she bought

BAKING POWDER,
WHY the Royal" is the Best.

Royal is the best baking powder because it is absolutely
pure and wholesome of the highest strength and maintains

There is other pure baking powder offered to the
public all others contain either lime alum-deete.
rous substances both Lime presence results
from impure cream of tartar alum is added to give
strength the object of the manufacturers in both
is to produce cheap powder
The Royal Baking Powder is exclusively made from
of tartar specially refined and prepared for its
by patent processes by which the tartrae of lime
and all other impurities totally removed. Its
absolute purity is guaranteed by its manufacturers
and certified by all prominent chemists and scientists
who have made it the subject of investigation.
The cream of tartar of the market from which
other baking powders made has been tested by
Profs. Chandler and Love, for the New York State
Board of HEALTH and found contain impurities frca
three to nnetythree per cent of its weight 1t is there
FORE absolutely impossible that these powders should
be pure while it is equally impossible for the Royal
being made it is from chemically pure materials,
to be otherwise than absolutely pure.
There being inert matter in the ingredients of the
Royal Baking Powder, higher strength is, of course
attained and the exact value of the materials being
ascertainabe to atom, compound is possible that will
maintain its full strength until used leave resduum
the bread and which all chemical and practical
perence have proved to be the perfection of eavenng
agencies. This combination in the Royal makes it
the best and the only perfect baking powder atainabe
Prof Mott, late Government Chemist, says: Because
of the facilities that company have for obtaining per
fectly pure of tartar and for other do

Glad the Salary Was No Less.

This story is told of Mr.. Mac, a
well-known humorist residing at Rock
life, Canada, on the Ottawa, who COM
bines the duties of station agent and post
master. Having acted for some time as
master of mails at that place to the salts
faction of the community, but without
pay, the member of parliament for the
district procured his appointment as post
master, and the head of the department
wrote him that he had much pleasure in
confirming his position-"the salary to be
the same as heretofore
This pleased Mac immensely, and he
wrote to the chief acknowledging the
honor. 81 just wrote him." he says,
''that 1 felt honored, as in duty bound, by
the confirmation of my appointment and
was glad to know the salary was to be
the same as heretofore, namely, nothing a
year; for, says l, I'd h-h-hate like f-f-f-
fury TO have to p-p-p-pay anything"-

Tenement on the Island of Malta.

DR.. Plimpsoll's account of a tenement
barrack on the island of Malta exceeds,
indeed, anything ever reported from the
land of the Calcutta black hole. ''Their
cellar dens, say he, "have no fireplace,
and therefore no chimneys, and serve
singly for whole family. They have no
windows, and some of them have no other
aperture of any kind than the door; and
when you have reached the bottom of the
pit you find the solid rock, wet with Stops
and foul with the odor of the children. So
little air reaches the bottom that the floor
never dries, and so little light that you
have to light a wax match to avoid falling
down in the doorway. In one house there
were three subterranean stories of six
cellars in each, and in the lowest of all
thirty people were living, thirty nine feet
below the surface of the street. Elk

A Victim of tho Piano Plague.

A German savant, who had long been
suffering from the everlasting pianoforte
playing next door, has devised the follow
ing method of putting a stop to it at
pleasure: An electric battery was con-
nected with powerful electro magnet.
Whenever current of electricity was
turned on its effect could easily be felt
through the wall by the horizontal steel
strings in the piano, which was instantly
put out of tune. Whenever the electric
current was stopped, which occurred as
often as the victim of the piano plague
went out, the mystical influence stopped
and Miss Else, the offending pianist, could
play.-Exchange.

conscientious Impressionist at Work.

"A CONSCIENTIOUS lmpressloniet at WORK.
I stumbled on the subject of "Impres-
sionism" one day, as l sat chatting with
Lefebyre in his studio in the Rue La
bruyere. "Impressionism, indeedr' said
the painter. "Let me tell you an anec-
dote. 1 was staying down at Trouville
two or three years ago. One morning
rose early and went down to the beach.
The weather was wretched. Overhead a

ly mood And with no little admiration

The conscientious painter was one of the
best known impressionists. The picture
on his canvass study of the coast over
the water at Havre-was garish with

any you could see at Naples. After that

The Californians carry their own forage
with them. They have the best racehorse
feed in the world. Their white oats are
about the color of silver, the grain is fine
and heavy, weighing forty-four pounds to
the bushel, while the average weight is
thirty-two pounds. Our oats average
thirty-six pounds. The Californians don't
feed timothy hay, but use a sort of wild
grass with heading very much like wild
oats. 1t is cut green and cured, making
better hay for horses than timothy

that of the mulberry, and that the worms
